Abstract

The method involves rotating the article while it is being continually or discontinually conveyed. While it is being rotated, an optical beam is directed onto the article. The size of at least one shadowing of the beam due to the article is detected during a short time interval and is converted into an electric measurement signal. Several measurement signals are used to form a signal for the diameter of the article. The size of several shadows may be detected while the article is being rotated. Shadows may be measured for consecutive articles and a deviation in the position of the second article from the first may be detected from the respective shadows.
